Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

It is now four quarters past three in the morning, when the night is quiet and everyone is asleep. The toilet is located in a remote part of the yard for various reasons. You can indeed see the backyard from here, but there is very little else, making it look empty and eerie.

Li Mofu frowned and looked carefully again. It seemed that he was indeed dizzy from squatting for too long, so he said, "Never mind, let's go!"

Guozi helped him leave quickly. The two of them were in a hurry, as if there was really a ghost chasing them.

"The young master said he has something to do and has to stay in the county government office tonight, but Mo Yi is here. Should we let him go to the backyard and take a look?" Guozi suggested.

Li Mofu felt a little uneasy. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. If there really was someone there, they would have run away long ago. We can't catch them now."

"And if there really was someone in the pavilion just now, I'd be more afraid that he's hiding in the house than looking for him..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mofu and Guozi felt a chill on their backs.

Atmosphere is a very incredible thing. It can play its maximum role in specific scenes. For example, now, Guozi clearly did not see the "figure" in the pavilion, but was frightened and trembled because of Li Mofu's words.

"I'll go light the lamp!" Guozi said as he quickly went to the table to get the lamp.

Li Mofu didn't dare to move, fearing that someone was hiding in the shadows.

It was not until the room became brighter because of the light that Li Mofu felt inexplicably confident. He picked up the spare inkstone in the room and began to patrol the room. Guozi also took the wooden hammer for massaging Li Mofu's back and followed him.

After looking around, there was no one in the house. It seemed that Li Mofu was really dazzled just now.

"Young master is fine. Guozi will stay with you on the couch tonight." Guozi breathed a sigh of relief after the examination. He just thought that Li Mofu was frightened by reading some idle books today.

Li Mofu couldn't wait to get what he wanted. He nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

So Guozi brought in the quilt, Li Mofu climbed onto the bed, Guozi turned off the light, and the two of them fell asleep.

The familiar scent of living people in the room made Li Mofu relax a lot. He didn't think about whether what he just saw was true or not. He closed his eyes and sank into the warm quilt.

...Suddenly, Li Mofu opened his eyes abruptly, his heart beating rapidly.

No, no!

There is nothing extra in the house, but something is missing!!

Li Mofu got up in the dark, went to light the lamp without even putting on his shoes, and Guozi was woken up by his actions. He asked, "What's wrong, Master? Are you having a nightmare again?"

Li Mofu had no time to answer him. He held the lamp and went to the place where the cat's nest was. It was gone. The place was empty.

"......" Li Mofu was stunned, then suddenly realized something and immediately pushed the door open to go out.

"Son!"

Guozi exclaimed, and he hurried downstairs to put on his shoes, and then brought shoes for Li Mofu before chasing after him.

Li Mofu's mind was no longer working. He only remembered the dark shadow he saw in the backyard when he came out of the toilet. His cat was gone, so he subconsciously ran to the backyard.

"Meow--"

“Mmmmm—”

The tiny voice of a kitten came from the backyard. Because it was cold, its voice became quieter and quieter.

"Young Master! Don't run so fast, you are not wearing shoes!" Guozi said as he chased after him.

Li Mofu came to the backyard. He didn't see anyone in the moonlight. There was only the cry of a kitten, which made Li Mofu feel sad.

"Meow, meow!"

The kitten meowed even louder, as if it had heard something. Li Mofu quickly walked towards the sound, which was coming from the pond he had fenced off.

I saw a bamboo cat bed thrown into the pond. Half of the bed was soaked in water. The little bird climbed out of the bed and onto the top of it. Its fur was all wet. The already small cat curled up into a small ball, looking pitiful.

"Meow meow meow!"

The little bird cried out when it saw Li Mofu. Li Mofu stepped into the pond without waiting for Guozi, "Why are you the only one here..."

Before Li Mofu could finish his words, he felt his leg touching something in the water. He looked down and saw a flash of white.

"......" Li Mofu was stunned for a moment, and he picked up the white thing stiffly.

It’s Xiaobai, he’s dead, but we don’t know whether he drowned or froze to death.

"Young Master! Come up quickly, I..." Guozi caught up and was about to persuade Li Mofu to go ashore so that he could go down and save the cat, but he didn't expect to see the dead cat's body in Li Mofu's hand.

Li Mofu didn't know what he was thinking. He was clearly playing with Xiaobai before going to bed.

"Meow--" the little cat began to call to Li Mofu.

Li Mofu came to his senses, put down the dead kitten, and walked quickly towards the little cat. The water in the pond was not deep, but it was a bit chilly at night.

"Meow..." The little cat cried until its voice became hoarse. It was still shivering in Li Mofu's arms. Its wet fur rubbed water onto Li Mofu's body, bringing him coolness.

"Sir, let me get the bamboo basket. You go upstairs and put on your shoes and go back to your room. Don't catch a cold. The kitten can't catch a cold either." Guozi also took off his shoes and went into the water.

Li Mofu nodded blankly, and when he got ashore, he suddenly said, "There's another cat."

Before Guozi could say anything, Mo Yi, who had hurried over upon hearing the noise, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Master Li, why did you come out without a coat?"

Guozi came up with a bamboo basket and explained, "Just now, the young master said that there was someone in the pavilion, but I didn't see anything, so we went back to the room. We were afraid that someone was there, so we searched the room. As a result, after sleeping for a while, the young master suddenly remembered that the cat in the room was missing, so he chased it out..."

Mo Yi's face turned serious, "Is there anyone?"

But Mo Yi saw Li Mofu standing there in a daze, holding the cat, and immediately said, "Go back to the house first. I'll help you look for the cat. It's definitely not in the pond."

Mo Yi brought Li Mofu and Guozi back into the house, asked them to lock the door, and left.

"Sir, let Guozi help you clean up and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold after all the work tonight." Guozi came over with a blanket.

Li Mofu shook his head and said, "I'll do it myself. You're already in the water, so clean yourself up first."

After saying that, Li Mofu took the blanket and started to wipe himself and the little cat, and Guozi went to the next room to change clothes.

"Mmm~"

The little cat made a pitiful sound. Li Mofu pursed his lips and took it to the brazier to warm itself by the fire.

Guozi, who had changed his clothes, came back soon. Seeing that Li Mofu hadn't changed his clothes yet, he quickly said, "Master, just leave it to Guozi. Go change your clothes."

So Li Mofu handed the little cat to Guozi and went to the bed to change his clothes. At this time, there was a sound of scratching something from under the bed, followed by a pair of cold little hands on Li Mofu's ankles.

"Xiaoju?!"

When Li Mofu lowered his head, he was surprised to see a furry thing at his feet.
